I haven't seen it mentioned before, so i'll throw this in:

should there be a new kind of instance variable defined that is associated
with a given module? Likewise, a "global" module variable might be defined
as well.

This might be a variant of pooled variables where only classes defined
within the module know about and can use  variables in the specific module
pool, and using the module-pool dictionary is implicitly managed since there
is only one of them per module and the name of the dictionary is redundant
and probably better left unspecified anyway.
